Exactly
Given MT's decision on the Rivian, their credibility has taken a hit. So, their test results for the EB are questionable. Mr. Boom and CD are most likely much more accurate. Not sure MT remembers how to drive. Seems like they want to press an electric button like George Jetson did to get somewhere.You are right! Tighter spread now
MT got 7s
Mr. Boom got 6.56
CD got 5.9s
I still take issue with MT complaining about towing 3,000lbs. On the 4k tow package and saying that it somehow felt unstable even though you look at guys like the truck king on YouTube hauling a 3800lb. Travel trailer with no issue and praising its stability, and in snow no less
That and TLF truck got 7s 0-60. I don't know what TFL location is exactly, but Colorado has an average 7kish feet above sea level, which would be a decent hit on power output. Something sketchy about MT 2.0 numbers for sure. Their Hybrid numbers are consistent with what other reviewers saw though.
They are based out of Boulder. TFL tested a bunch of new trucks, all turbocharged except for the new Frontier and they all had times about half a second from each other. The Frontier had a crappy time well over 9 seconds. Gas engines are greatly affected by elevation. Especially N.A. Engines, but turbos can get hit too. But electrified does not.
well one thing to consider is that Rivian gave Motortrend exclusive driving rights over the summer (there were some really pissed auto journalists About that). So there might be some conflict of interest. Still look at the other winners Motortrend gave out this year. They gave car of the year to Lucid, which is an $80k - $170k electric super car that almost nobody will buy.
I don't know about that every single one that they [Lucid] have capacity to build has been bought.

As posted on another thread. I'm looking forward to being a cousin owner to the impressive Ecoboost Maverick if my cool little XL hybrid ever gets scheduled. We're all in this together brothers (& sisters).
There was a Miami Vice marathon over Thanksgiving and I watched it. I remember wanting that Testarossa when I was in my teens. It cost $330K in 1986 dollars. And which also produced 50 fewer horsepower than my 2015 Mustang GT (385 versus 435) and which is slower in the zero to 60 (5.2 seconds versus 4.4).Awesome - when I was a kid I always wanted one of these....
Now I have something that is faster 0-60....and it's a truck...and gets good gas mileage
I used to say it just has to keep up with traffic but everyone is driving so much faster these days I think i will get run over if I don't have a Tesla
